Look into local hobby shops that might buy your collection from you then you can just walk in there and they can evaluate the price and tell you how much they would buy. In the states it’s really common for them to give you 50% of the value as cash or75% of the value as in-store credit.

They've consumed the top of one piece of furniture. Only a matter of time before the army grows stronger and conquers something else 😎

I love all the fairy tail figures! 👆

To say that your post is too vague would be an understatement. It’s like you wrote “hey guys, I have some investments in stuff. How well will they hold up?”

With that said, realistically, in the best case scenario, you’d expect something you spend a small fortune on to accrue value over time steadily, like a municipal bond or a luxury watch. It’s not bullshit; most things we invest in have no intrinsic value in the strictest sense beyond the raw materials involved, if there are any to begin with. The cool thing about art as an investment is twofold: 1) you get to enjoy it tangibly, 2) you or your descendents get to cash out at some point.

What you want to do is check if the artists you're collecting have an active secondary resale market (which is to say, are they selling at auction). There's a huge difference between $5000 on a limited edition print by Frank Stella vs. $5000 on a painting by an emerging artist.

In the former case, the value might held reasonably well -- it may go up, or it may go down somewhat, but you're reasonably likely to recoup a non-negligible portion of your purchase price.

In the latter case, by contrast, it's far more uncertain, but there is a substantial likelihood that the resale value is either nil or a few hundred dollars at your local auction house. You shouldn't assume it will keep any significant value.

Some retail their value, some don’t. Nobody has a crystal ball…

I recently had to get a valuation of my collection. Forgive me, this might sound a bit pretentious, but it represents 40 years of collecting. The valuer was recommended by an art dealer friend, and I was essentially given price estimates based on what the works might achieve at a second tier auction.

At the moment, my theoretical art budget is about £1,700 a year, though for the past 30 years it has really been equivalent to a second holiday. We recently moved to a flat that is better suited to older age, and as part of that transition, we gave some artworks away, a kind of preinheritance for friends and family. So far, we have not sold anything.

I don't think you should be buying art as an investment.

My reason to buy art is for decoration and enjoyment.

once you know what you have a local store or fb group maybe quick

Card Conduit

if you take around 40% of market price on everything at least $1 USD or higher thats about top dollar. anything under $.75 basically useless and sold by the box like $5. high volumes of junk even if its hundreds of dollars worth is not desirable. tcgplayer app or website accurate prices with scanning. mtgcardmarket or similar sites you can view their buylist which us what they buy and the price. add to cart as sell if its good it will be there if under $1 probably comes up bulk maybe $.01. pics? I can help manage expectations

Just wanted to update everyone that the FMA, JJK, and Berserk have all been spoken for! I'll be sure to update the comment in case it changes!

Hi. What were you asking for full metal

check out r/mangaswap OP

Messaged you

When to let go of manga? Running out of space

What to keep?

“Do I enjoy this enough to buy the whole series?”

“Will I ever reread this?”

If either answer is no, it goes.

I consider availability of the manga, as in can I easily repurchase if I regret getting rid of it as well as if I ever plan on rereading it again.

Let go? What do you mean let go? You never let go. You never get rid of it. If you run out of space, that's what the bags and storage tubs for. It's also why you have attics and crawl spaces and relatives to store them at until you get a bigger place.

I probably don't curate my collection as often as I should. I have quite a few series that I don't intend to read again, but I can't get myself to sell/donate them for nostalgic reasons. I love seeing them on display, and occasionally flipping through them brings me joy.

I have gotten rid of a few series recently, though, and have tried to be more discerning/not picking up new series on hype alone. But, for every series that I get rid of, I find 5 more that I'm interested in. It is a never-ending battle lol
